BBC Bias

They discuss issues from the point of view that the earth is flat. If someone says the earth is round, they think this person is an extremist. That's what it's like for someone with my right-of-centre views working inside the BBC.
Jeff Randall, editor-at-large of The Daily Telegraph on BBC bias

A report has determined that the BBC has a distinct left-wing bias.

The main evidence of this is that when the Director General said that he was unaware of any such bias, the entire BBC staff started coughing, whistling and staring off into corners.

BBC? Biased? What next? water is wet?

Actually, I'm surprised that anyone with right-leaning views can keep a job there at all!

Thought I thoroughly agree with Mr. Randall, he hasn't quite uncovered anything earth-shattering here. Didn't the Beeb *admit* to bias itself a few months back?

Nowadays, it's as groundbreaking as reporting that Liberace was gay.

I still prefer the Times to eyeball-rolling haterags like the Daily Mail.

"IMMIGRANTS!! BE AFRAID!!" Indeed.

(But then I probably am a whingeing pinko leftie)

...But then again, we're talking about the BBC, aren't we? I am an idiot.

And now that we know they're biased... what, exactly? The odds of the BBC actually correcting the problem are about the same as the odds of the entire BBC building spontaneously transmuting into yogurt. They'll nod sagely, admit that there may be "some" bias... and go right on acting as the unpaid volunteer propaganda arm and intelligence service of the international jihad movement.
